This is a really neat video! I don't know much about Beyblade outside of watching it as a kid but it's surprisingly interesting! It's quite the competent video too. Hope to see more like it in the future.
Today I learned: - Competitive bayblade exists - This hobby is somehow even more overpriced than any hobby already have - People somehow took purely physical properties of toy discs into actual tangible game stats and I kinda love it
dont be fooled, the "stats" are arbitrary nonsense assigned by the manufacturer on the label, the same as their "class rating". the best beyblades are the cheap shitty looking ones that are just a massive chunk of iron, in a flat featureless tall cylinder.
@@bestaround3323 Cards can gain in value over time. Beryblades do not.. Trading cards have a value. Beyblades only have value in niche circles. I randomly came across this video and found it dumb. Battle dreidels. Its boring. Would be fun in bigger sizes. like battle bots or something. But, back to my point. Trading cards can actually be a profitable hobby. For example, im 35 years old. When i was 10 Pokemon came out. So i was the perfect agee for pokemon cards. I had a giant collection of 1st edition cards. Like 10+ of each rare holographic. I sold them for $330,000 in 2020 during the boom. They werent graded. except for my charizards. all psa 4-7 i actually played the game as a kid. But i had a alot of cards. So my hobby as a kid, bought me a house. So thats the difference between trading cards and this. And sports cards aswell. I bought a box of some 2018 bowman baseball cards looking for the Ohtani cards. Didn't get one but i still made 600$ on the box. So cards actually have investment opportunities. And trying to pull for certain cards is alot of fun on top of it.
Babe wake up, I just found a video about drama in a fandom I haven't thought about in 10 years Edit: just in case people think this is me complaining, it isn't, I kinda enjoy checking in on old fandoms randomly lol
Same, all I remember from. Beyblade is LONG ROPE LAUNCHER BEST LAUNCHER.. And our loc beyblade seemed to have been WAY more aggressive than these in the vid 😅 like angry saw blade noises and shattering bit out of a table leg beyblade
I once superglued three weight plates together for my little brothers beyblade. The thing only just fit on the spinner thingy, and hummed ominously when it was at speed. It just annihilated everything thrown against it, it was wild.
A dollar store near my place would sell ridiculously heavy 4-bladed "weights" for early plastic beyblades. They would hit so hard, I have sliced my friends' beyblades in half as they get ejected out of the ring
we had some of those knock off oversized metal plates go around. they destroyed everything, just smashing plastic to bits. and the fake metal plate. very cheap metal. the last one annihilated itself hitting a wall. they where so heavy, you couldn't even get them started properly with a regular rip cord. you had to yank em with such a force that the plastic deforms. great stuff
A left-spinning beyblade that had "Drago" in its name that bodied almost everything thrown against it, stole basically the soul of any normally right-spinning bey and was so OP that it became the only true forbidden beyblade? What is this, Ryuga's beyblade but irl?

You can't really expect more from any form of high level in any other game, and beyblade isn't meant to be an exception.
WHY AM I ONLY LEARNING *NOW* THAT COMPETITIVE BEYBLADING IS A THING (Also immediately looked at Beyhaven to see if I could get my Burn Phoenix back after all these years, but it's sold out..)
I remember many many years ago, my brother got me into bayblade I went to a tournament with him and he won and even sliced a few baybaldes lol. He took his bayblade into shop class and sharpened the edges 🔪. Man the look on people's faces when their baybakde got destroyed 😂
Last thing I remember about beyblades was using a "wind type" one in a big outdoor battle royale type setup in a large dusty pit, a gust of wind blowing over every top in the area except mine, and everyone deciding it had used its "special attack".
I feel old for knowing this. I remember in early 2000s Beyblade at school was huge... I had so many parents come to my house to get the Bayblades back I won on the playground lmfao
I was just about to comment something similar! LMAO I was the only kid in my school that somehow managed to get a heavier than usual black beyblade with a metal tip. Was making a killing as a 4th/5th grader. Selling back to the kids that lost to me their bayblades for like $2 or $3 dollars. They were terrified about their parents finding out they lost it on a wager at school. Probably got it at a convention or the Electronics Boutique at the mall I used to go to. Good days. LOL
Yes, I know someone who threw his life away to start a Beyblade tournament business. I think to this day he has 3 people that show up t his events he spends thousands on trying to put together. He's hundreds of thousands in dept. from "Buying stock" and tournament costs. It's wild. Dude's house looks like a feverpit of childhood hopes and dreams gone astray.
@@diablo.the.cheater Yeah sadly a lot of video gamers are the same. I develop video games, Don't play many anymore though as I used to just game and nothing else. I have not once spent more than I could afford on any one of my hobbies apart from drug addictions in the past. Some people just don't know what is fantasy and what is feasible, it's sad to watch.
this was an awesome video. i love learning about the competitive history of games like yugioh, and pokemon vgc and i just learned that I like beyblade history as well! hoping for more of this
I was kind of in a similar boat. My main hobby was Lego though but I had a friend who was obsessed with beyblade. In middle school I begged my mom to get me a magic card pack so I could play the game but the cards I got were all weak plus I sucked at it so I lost every single game
Dude, this video style is awesome! It’s like a miniature video essay: super informative and entertaining, but it doesn’t drag on like other videos do sometimes. I’d be so down to see more videos in this style!
seriously, this was fun. I love hearing about beyblade history, especially learning about sets banned because they are too broken, in any kind of way (too good, too bad/dangerous).
I feel like the burst series also prioritized having more defense/ stamina oriented left spin models to counter strategies like these that dominated metal fight. Part of the strength of left spin was it's rarity in these times.
I'd say what prevented this from hapenning in Burst is that it had very aggressive left-spin options. An equivalent to Wyvern Dragoon would be something like Vanish Longinus Over Drift-9, but that can be reliably beaten by a good Guilty combo. If zero-g had a warrior wheel that was a hyper-aggressive left-spin (unlike Dragoon which is too defensive), we might've been spared from RDF hell
I'm just researching this because I got my son some Beyblades and a stadium for Christmas. I didn't realize beyblade was so in depth or that the competitive scene was so intense. I guess I have a lot of research to do lol
"Since ancient times, the existence of Beys can be found in moments throughout history. The power of Beyblades have been used to change the course of rivers and oceans. They have been used to defeat many armies and to create huge empires!"
I had RDF for the longest and just kept it on stock Quetzalcoatl until finding more success with WD lmao. Just goes to show how different comp and casual is even for beyblade. Love the style of this video dude! More bey yapping please
Yeah even a real RDF is Mid at best on Most Stuff. And a Midfake One is Trash. I have the Best Midfake you can buy. And Midfake RDF makes it fly out of the arena. Or it flings into the pocket or rides the rim of the stadium.
I think some of these spinners are good at conserving their momentum real good, but are not good at resisting having it disrupted or at disrupting. And the other two are good at either having their momentum not being disrupted or at disrupting momentum. With the ones good at disrupting momentum being absolute messes that bleed momentum all over the place, while the ones that can resist have decent momentum but not as good as the ones that are actually good at momentum, this makes the defensive ones outlast the momentum of the attack ones, the attack ones disrupting the momentum of the stamina ones, and the stamina ones simply outlast the defense ones. It seems the problem with the one in this video is that it has great momentum while being semi-decent at disrupting and defending itself from disruption.
Make this combo fight Guilty Longnus Illegal Quick’0, it’s the strongest combo in burst. Let the world finally learn the answer to the question which is the strongest Beyblade of all time
@@thomasthecoolkid7228 Yes but it's just a test to see which is stronger between the two. That would just be one thing the Burst One would have to work around. Though don't think it will beat Dragoon. Unless the Dragoon is on a Midfake or Worn Down RDF. Midfake RDF's as Shit and Send the Bey Flying into the Pocket or Out of the Arena. Or at best will ride the rim of a Circular Stadium tills it's nearly out of Stamina without actually doing anything productive.
@@dr.dylansgame5583 I actually have my money on Guilty Longinus. Not only is it designed to be the greatest attack type, stated in the video to be dragooon’s weak point, but iirc, it’s 4 grams heavier and burst Beyblade have higher spin power. Ofc we’ll never know the real outcome unless someone actually does this battle
I had a weird twisted tempo combo in school that beat effectively everyone, a very thick and heavy blade from twisted tempo, some type of smooth green face , a very smooth/wide tip and a thin ring. The thing just orbited the center slowly and ejected anything that touched it.
@@calamitytristan oddly enough mine was it's own weakness especially when more opponents were involved because it would just sit there throwing everything that touched it chichi caused things to devolve into absolute chaos , if the amount of impacts didn't stop it a random blade would fly in from a weird angle and do it
I hope you can make more videos like this. I never got into competitve beyblade format, and the little info i have is mostly some fun facts here and there (like Metal Spike/Sharp being banned for breaking stadiums), so it would be interesting to se how tournaments are, as well as which beyblades have fallen off or rised up somehow
It's still amazing to me that each beyblade type can actually counter each other just like how they're meant to. The amount of customisation and control is insane. Especially feels good when you find a setup that works well for you. It's also cool that they work alot of the time how they do in the series the same in real life. Just a great product in every way from the creators.
I randomly got recommended this video, the last time I played Beyblades was still the first anime lol I had most of the blades of the first generation and then mixed and matched every combination until I got Dragoon V attack ring, Draciel F weight disc and Dranzer S base if I remember correctly. It's probably super outclassed now, but back then I can literally spin it opposing the opponent's direction with my hand and win, the Dragoon V ring just steals so much spin from the opponent.
I miss when Hell Kerbecs dropped and his metal wheel was if I recall at the time, the largest and heaviest ones you could have. Naturally it garnered alot of attention. Then Basalt Herogium came out and that was just silly when combined w its standard tall ass spin track. Not sure if any of that contributes to your video but you triggered some core memories of those things when this popped up in my feed. Thanks.
the problem that I think was pointed out is that it makes a 50/50 of 2 scenarios, 1, the thing wins outright immediately, or 2, a 25% chance of winning, a 25% chance of losing, and a 50% chance of doing it all over again, making the outcome 62.5% chance to win, 12.5% to lose, and 25% to re-roll the odds, making losing with it considered unlucky, so much like in other games that center themselves on strategy first, like trading card games, or pokemon, or other things of that nature, this needed to be banned
@Spiceitwithred okay, but the opponent can use the same logic. The math is also wrong. Assuming all outcomes are equally likely, there is a 1/3 chance of winning, a 1/3 chance of losing, and a 1/3 chance of drawing. If you win or lose, it is over, and no more matches happen. If you draw, you do another match, each of the following outcomes has a 1/9 chance of happening. Now for the third match each has a 1/27 chance from the whole. This continues until it converges to a 50/50 of winning or losing. Now, the probabilities of either top winning are not equal, but if that were the case, you could simply use the statistics instead of using the flow chart.
I haven't thought about these things in a long time. Had one I put together using legitimate and knockoff parts, specifically the Defense Ring and Launcher. The knockoff ring was actually wider than the attack ring and had 4 flint embedded in it in 90° intervals. The launcher was where the magic happened though. Made out of plastic, there was an internal part to moderate the amount of potential energy that was transfered to the top. After some trial and error, I figured out how to modify (break) them consistently enough, that with the weight of the top (a little over 1 lbs.) was able to spin, on a flat surface, for 3 minutes or more, depending on who launched it. I never used it against anyone else, except my brother, because I quickly realized that these things were, legitimately, dangerous when I did a test launch and the cheap arena got shredded. In hindsight, it's no wonder with the flint. I went on to discover it could gouge steel cooking bowls (my mothers) and will absolutely ruin the enamel of a bathtub. Due to the characteristic of the defense ring being the real attack ring and my Draciel attack ring just being there to hold it together, I named it Draciel-A(ssault). Man, I really wish I still had that thing. Now that Beyblades are more metal, I wonder how one would hold up against it. Edit: I forgot about the ripcord also being offbrand. It was 1' and was, likely, also a big factor.
This video was my entry point to ever paying attention to beyblade in my 35 years of life so far. A month later I'm 7 beys and 1 stadium in with no signs of stopping lol
Dragoon was a type of Beyblade that could’ve made the community adapt or die and I think that would’ve been a nice change to the piece of actual Beyblade. Beyblade is something that is stuck in the enemy and isn’t really a real life thing. It’s always some thing to see when something breaks away from the enemy and evolves into reality and that’s what I kind of want for Beyblade
Anime spelled enemy is fucking insane but what he said makes alot of sense once you get pass that error ... Because ive always wanted the same thing for yuGiOh... With duel disk and real life virtuals monsters appearing i can live with out the taking real damage part though😂
This is why i love the internet. For me, beyblades was what the rich kids did in pre-school, but for others its a whole pro scene. Learn something new every day
I remember the cartoon, and I've seen videos every now and then of people playing beyblade, but I did not know it was this deep. S tier parts, a whole set of being over 700 bucks brand new? Tf?!? Mind blown
Im so glad competitive beyblade exist and it's big now. I remember being a kid watching the show when it first came out and getting my first beyblade for Christmas. I had no one to batlte but I can hear the echos me saying let it rip in my room 😢😂. THE NOSTALGIA!!
I'm just amazed that this fandom has relevancy. I'm surprised you all _still exist._ I mean, I don't mean it in a _bad_ way, good for all of you. I don't know how you all like Beyblade in 2024, I don't know how it's still competitive, and I don't know how spinning tops have actual thought behind them (haven't fully watched the video yet) but that's a me problem, not yours. Maybe seeing things spin is soothing to some people? Maybe there's gambling with tops in other countries? Maybe dreidel vs dreidel matches are fun? Or maybe I'm just too old to understand but old enough to remember when it was hype? Whatever the reason(s), keep enjoying yourselves.
Ngl the current beyblade Gen, Beyblade X, is extremly hype with super explosive matches and insane speeds. The battles intesnity now feels, how we imagine playing beyblade felt back in school. Look into it, maybe you can find something in there to enjoy Beyblade again? Have a great day!
What if you use: fusion hades BD 145 and EWD Since fusion hades spins the opposite direction and has rubber it would be able to defend against its attack and "spin steal" from it The BD 145 is more used to add mass and height to match your height And EWD to not get thrown off the stadium from your bayblade's attacks? (and metal face bolt of course)
@@darkbladegeeks you dont even have a proof that it can beat wayveng yet you ask for proof it cant? Sure my proof is that your combo never even used back then as competitive combo. You think you are the only one ever think about that combo? Stop dreaming child
@@drklztestchannel2638 who says I am child in fact I have a lot of knowledge about metal fight although my channel is continuing burst and don't say anything without technical sense,you silly
Time to go down a rabbit hole about a game/anime I haven't thought about in nearly two decades, never played/watched, and most certainly will not play/watch. Thank you.
so like when Timothée Chalamet posed with a beyblade in that one pic i was like "haha pretty funny throwback to that anime i watched as a kid" but now i know the beyblade comunity is alive and well and it's more cool than i remember
I would love to see more videos like this! I grew up with the Burst generation, but learning about earlier gens like Metal Fight is very fascinating! Please do more like these!
This combo also changed the toyline forever. The tops explode now. This is likely as a response to combos like this. Beyblade X is basically "let's try metal fight again, but this time with caution and the burst mechanic."
I play competitive Yugioh and I have a hard time grasping competitive Beyblade. How do you rate their stats? How does powercreep work so they can sell tops?? How are there not more tops that break the entire RPS format through pure physics???
That was a timetravel man. We used some knock off beyblades from a magazine that were bigger then normal beyblades, so the beyblade kid got annihilated
I had no idea there was competitive beyblade, but my bey made with a Gravity Destroyer's metal and clear wheels, the track from Flame Libra, and whatever tip I felt like running beat all the other kids at school lol.
from my testing with the wyvang dragoon combo, it has a rly hard time with specifically death bd145 cs. If it's not able to knock it out, 99 percent of the time it's not able to properly grip onto the blade or spin track and destabalizes/dies before death runs out of stamina. You'd have to switch to a more stable part like killerken before its able to properly grip onto the death fusion wheel.
I'm going through the comments section expecting a bunch of people to say how this is similar to Wizard Rod in Beyblade X, but surprised to see a majority of comments just now discovering that Beyblade has a competitive scene. Even as a kid growing up during plastic gen, I dreamed of competing in a real beyblade tournament. I guess the West didn't really market tournaments very well back then.
The worst thing about Wyvang Dragoon is that its only real counter was other Dragoon setups. MSF Genbull Dragoon 90WD can often outspin it (assuming it avoids an early KO), but then you run into an issue of overpowered Dragoon combos that can only be countered by each other Personally, I would've banned Dragoon (or at least restrict it to not be the top wheel in a synchrome) instead of RDF. By removing left spin from synchrome entirely, it would allow for RDF to be used in less OP combos and give other left spin beys a reason to be used (since with Dragoon synchromes being a thing, there is no reason to ever use any of the L-Drago beys)
And here is me thinking getting a long ass cord and launching a beyblade at Mach 2, seeing them both smashing out of the ring and splintering a table leg was peak beyblade..
this is such a cool video! its super cool learning about the metal fight scene especially as someone who collects burst beys. I'd love to see more videos like this
as a complete noob watching this, i had a hard time understanding what was going on until the 5 minute mark where you explained the rock paper scissors system. i was totally lost on what weight did for a beyblade or what "smashes" were i think i would've been helped greatly if you'd mentioned a couple of the the win conditions of beyblade something like "to be the last one spinning, whether by knockout, or out lasting your opponents spin" so that way the viewer can sort of intuit "ah weight is good to keep spinning and take hits" but its not too much info given so that you still have viewer retention explaining the scale of how good this combo was
I remember when Bayblade first came out. They were heaps of fun and there used to be some crazy after market weight discs. All with crazy shapes an cool things about them like one I remember had flint on the outside of it so when it would hit the other weight disc it would spark.
The only competitive bayblade I ever did was in school in the early 2000's. Doing wagers with other kids, winning them, and then selling the bayblades back to the same kids who lost, because they were terrified their parents would find out. Good times. LMAO
Today i learned that there is a marked place for beyblade parts. Nice to know even if i will never be able to replace my collection that was lost because of my little sister. Coming from a not so well of family, i mostly got fakes from an asian store around the corner. But to my surprise, those parts where compatible.

I remember many many years ago, my brother got me into bayblade I went to a tournament with him and he won and even sliced a few baybaldes lol. He took his bayblade into shop class and sharpened the edges 🔪. Man the look on people's faces when their baybakde got destroyed 😂
@@theSixPathsOfTrains damn, he sounds like a villain in the anime lmao, that's a mean prank
@@G0ld3nC4t_8 oh thanks! I don't know why they're not under metal fusion..
@@Moss_Dude well he was a tmnt fan so he customized his metal baybalde into "the shredder" theme.
and it was all fair game too. Lol
So basically beyblade is a pay-to-win, play-the-meta-or-perish, feast or famine kind of game.
...if you're taking it seriously.
Every game tied to repeatedly selling a physical product is, it's the entire monetization model.
As are all competitive collectible games
Ain’t no heart of the cards here sonny.
To be fair, you could say that about almost anything to an extent
Last thing I remember about beyblades was using a "wind type" one in a big outdoor battle royale type setup in a large dusty pit, a gust of wind blowing over every top in the area except mine, and everyone deciding it had used its "special attack".
I feel old for knowing this.
I remember in early 2000s Beyblade at school was huge...
I had so many parents come to my house to get the Bayblades back I won on the playground lmfao
I was just about to comment something similar! LMAO I was the only kid in my school that somehow managed to get a heavier than usual black beyblade with a metal tip. Was making a killing as a 4th/5th grader. Selling back to the kids that lost to me their bayblades for like $2 or $3 dollars. They were terrified about their parents finding out they lost it on a wager at school. Probably got it at a convention or the Electronics Boutique at the mall I used to go to. Good days. LOL
Competitive Beyblade is a thing? You learn something new every day.
Yes, I know someone who threw his life away to start a Beyblade tournament business. I think to this day he has 3 people that show up t his events he spends thousands on trying to put together. He's hundreds of thousands in dept. from "Buying stock" and tournament costs. It's wild. Dude's house looks like a feverpit of childhood hopes and dreams gone astray.
@@hogandromgool2062I can’t believe this thing can be that popular for him to turn things around, but you never know 😂
@@hogandromgool2062 Actual manchild, one thing is having a hobby, but if you let it consume your life it is problem.
@@diablo.the.cheater Yeah sadly a lot of video gamers are the same. I develop video games, Don't play many anymore though as I used to just game and nothing else. I have not once spent more than I could afford on any one of my hobbies apart from drug addictions in the past.
Some people just don't know what is fantasy and what is feasible, it's sad to watch.
Haha I had no idea either... but I did have fun with them as a kid back in the day lol
this was an awesome video. i love learning about the competitive history of games like yugioh, and pokemon vgc and i just learned that I like beyblade history as well! hoping for more of this
thank you!! There’s so much out there I could do!!
@ i wanna hear about it all!!
Here i am 34 years old discovering that my childhood toys had a competitive scene tf ahaha ! Thats pretty awesome ngl
when I was young, I wanted to join all the collectible games, cards, Beys, everything, but had no money. Now, that I am grown, still have no money.
Ok
I guess you didn't want it enough..
I'm talking about money 😅
Instructions unclear. I tried to take someones money, now I'm typing from the hospital and down $400 in an ambulance charge
I was kind of in a similar boat. My main hobby was Lego though but I had a friend who was obsessed with beyblade. In middle school I begged my mom to get me a magic card pack so I could play the game but the cards I got were all weak plus I sucked at it so I lost every single game
That's kinda the shitty thing about collectible hobbies, even if you do have the money you can realistically only invest in so many
This type of editing is actually so refreshing.
Clean, straight to the point, and great visuals.
Dude, this video style is awesome! It’s like a miniature video essay: super informative and entertaining, but it doesn’t drag on like other videos do sometimes. I’d be so down to see more videos in this style!
super glad to hear that!! thank you!
I had no idea Beyblade was this complex
Wait until you see tamiya minj 4wd, assembling tamiya is like building a formula 1 car
I don't think the creators even knew it went this deep. At least at first
Pardon my lack of beyblade knowledge but I have a question. In competitive games do you say “bey blade bey blade let it rip” before you start or no…
You say "1, 2, 3 leeeeeeeet iiiiit riiiiipppppppp"
If you're playing with Japan releases (Takara Tomy) you say "3, 2, 1 go shoot", but for Western releases (Hasbro) you say "3, 2, 1 let it rip"
holy crap dude congrats on the major success in the video! God Bless and congrats on the success
seriously, this was fun. I love hearing about beyblade history, especially learning about sets banned because they are too broken, in any kind of way (too good, too bad/dangerous).
I feel like he's making everything up as a prank against me
I feel like the burst series also prioritized having more defense/ stamina oriented left spin models to counter strategies like these that dominated metal fight. Part of the strength of left spin was it's rarity in these times.
I'd say what prevented this from hapenning in Burst is that it had very aggressive left-spin options. An equivalent to Wyvern Dragoon would be something like Vanish Longinus Over Drift-9, but that can be reliably beaten by a good Guilty combo. If zero-g had a warrior wheel that was a hyper-aggressive left-spin (unlike Dragoon which is too defensive), we might've been spared from RDF hell
I can't believe that Beyblades are balanced enough for an actual competitive scene
I'm just researching this because I got my son some Beyblades and a stadium for Christmas. I didn't realize beyblade was so in depth or that the competitive scene was so intense. I guess I have a lot of research to do lol
"Since ancient times, the existence of Beys can be found in moments throughout history. The power of Beyblades have been used to change the course of rivers and oceans. They have been used to defeat many armies and to create huge empires!"
I had RDF for the longest and just kept it on stock Quetzalcoatl until finding more success with WD lmao. Just goes to show how different comp and casual is even for beyblade. Love the style of this video dude! More bey yapping please
Wait isn't Quad Quetziko from Burst?
@dysrxiaofficial Death Quetzalcoatl 125RDF from Metal Fury, sorry I should've been more clear
Yeah even a real RDF is Mid at best on Most Stuff. And a Midfake One is Trash. I have the Best Midfake you can buy. And Midfake RDF makes it fly out of the arena. Or it flings into the pocket or rides the rim of the stadium.
@@GreenShellShock yea sry, im from Burst/X era, not Plastic/Metal Fight
Me: Oh I see, he's talking about momentum!
Eddie: Increased attack power!
Me: ???
I think some of these spinners are good at conserving their momentum real good, but are not good at resisting having it disrupted or at disrupting. And the other two are good at either having their momentum not being disrupted or at disrupting momentum. With the ones good at disrupting momentum being absolute messes that bleed momentum all over the place, while the ones that can resist have decent momentum but not as good as the ones that are actually good at momentum, this makes the defensive ones outlast the momentum of the attack ones, the attack ones disrupting the momentum of the stamina ones, and the stamina ones simply outlast the defense ones.
It seems the problem with the one in this video is that it has great momentum while being semi-decent at disrupting and defending itself from disruption.
Make this combo fight Guilty Longnus Illegal Quick’0, it’s the strongest combo in burst. Let the world finally learn the answer to the question which is the strongest Beyblade of all time
True
Isn't it illegal to pit Burst Beys against pre-Burst Beys because any pre-Burst Bey can't burst?
the strongest beyblade of all time versus the strongest beyblade of today
@@thomasthecoolkid7228 Yes but it's just a test to see which is stronger between the two. That would just be one thing the Burst One would have to work around. Though don't think it will beat Dragoon. Unless the Dragoon is on a Midfake or Worn Down RDF. Midfake RDF's as Shit and Send the Bey Flying into the Pocket or Out of the Arena. Or at best will ride the rim of a Circular Stadium tills it's nearly out of Stamina without actually doing anything productive.
@@dr.dylansgame5583 I actually have my money on Guilty Longinus. Not only is it designed to be the greatest attack type, stated in the video to be dragooon’s weak point, but iirc, it’s 4 grams heavier and burst Beyblade have higher spin power. Ofc we’ll never know the real outcome unless someone actually does this battle
Part of me knew that competitive beyblade was a thing. Part of me did NOT know how complex this shit is 😂
Omg the beyblade anime wasn’t lying
Beyblade is life
I had a weird twisted tempo combo in school that beat effectively everyone, a very thick and heavy blade from twisted tempo, some type of smooth green face , a very smooth/wide tip and a thin ring. The thing just orbited the center slowly and ejected anything that touched it.
that has to be a very op combo. hope it does not get banned
Dude Basalt Horogium/Twisted Tempo had the most cracked illegal combos back in the day, it was godlike
@@TB11484 that's was probably back in 2012 so I'm sure the competitive guys already banned it if they couldn't find anything to beat it.
@@calamitytristan oddly enough mine was it's own weakness especially when more opponents were involved because it would just sit there throwing everything that touched it chichi caused things to devolve into absolute chaos , if the amount of impacts didn't stop it a random blade would fly in from a weird angle and do it
I hope you can make more videos like this. I never got into competitve beyblade format, and the little info i have is mostly some fun facts here and there (like Metal Spike/Sharp being banned for breaking stadiums), so it would be interesting to se how tournaments are, as well as which beyblades have fallen off or rised up somehow
It's still amazing to me that each beyblade type can actually counter each other just like how they're meant to. The amount of customisation and control is insane. Especially feels good when you find a setup that works well for you. It's also cool that they work alot of the time how they do in the series the same in real life. Just a great product in every way from the creators.
"Turning to the left" can literally mean both clockwise and counter clockwise.
this is so sick, I had no idea how complex beyblade was when I had them years and years ago
I randomly got recommended this video, the last time I played Beyblades was still the first anime lol
I had most of the blades of the first generation and then mixed and matched every combination until I got Dragoon V attack ring, Draciel F weight disc and Dranzer S base if I remember correctly.
It's probably super outclassed now, but back then I can literally spin it opposing the opponent's direction with my hand and win, the Dragoon V ring just steals so much spin from the opponent.
I miss when Hell Kerbecs dropped and his metal wheel was if I recall at the time, the largest and heaviest ones you could have. Naturally it garnered alot of attention.
Then Basalt Herogium came out and that was just silly when combined w its standard tall ass spin track.
Not sure if any of that contributes to your video but you triggered some core memories of those things when this popped up in my feed. Thanks.
6:00 No way, you’re telling me it will either lose, win or draw!!!! How can this be!!!
In this world, you either live, or you die
the problem that I think was pointed out is that it makes a 50/50 of 2 scenarios, 1, the thing wins outright immediately, or 2, a 25% chance of winning, a 25% chance of losing, and a 50% chance of doing it all over again, making the outcome 62.5% chance to win, 12.5% to lose, and 25% to re-roll the odds, making losing with it considered unlucky, so much like in other games that center themselves on strategy first, like trading card games, or pokemon, or other things of that nature, this needed to be banned
It’s the odds on how much it wins vs losses and draws. If you’re winning 3/5 times, that’s a clause for a rebalance or a ban.
tell me you didn't understand the video you just watched
@Spiceitwithred okay, but the opponent can use the same logic.
The math is also wrong. Assuming all outcomes are equally likely, there is a 1/3 chance of winning, a 1/3 chance of losing, and a 1/3 chance of drawing. If you win or lose, it is over, and no more matches happen. If you draw, you do another match, each of the following outcomes has a 1/9 chance of happening. Now for the third match each has a 1/27 chance from the whole. This continues until it converges to a 50/50 of winning or losing.
Now, the probabilities of either top winning are not equal, but if that were the case, you could simply use the statistics instead of using the flow chart.
3:12 time to bust out the Bambu X1 Carbon, I guess.
I haven't thought about these things in a long time. Had one I put together using legitimate and knockoff parts, specifically the Defense Ring and Launcher.
The knockoff ring was actually wider than the attack ring and had 4 flint embedded in it in 90° intervals. The launcher was where the magic happened though. Made out of plastic, there was an internal part to moderate the amount of potential energy that was transfered to the top.
After some trial and error, I figured out how to modify (break) them consistently enough, that with the weight of the top (a little over 1 lbs.) was able to spin, on a flat surface, for 3 minutes or more, depending on who launched it.
I never used it against anyone else, except my brother, because I quickly realized that these things were, legitimately, dangerous when I did a test launch and the cheap arena got shredded. In hindsight, it's no wonder with the flint. I went on to discover it could gouge steel cooking bowls (my mothers) and will absolutely ruin the enamel of a bathtub.
Due to the characteristic of the defense ring being the real attack ring and my Draciel attack ring just being there to hold it together, I named it Draciel-A(ssault).
Man, I really wish I still had that thing. Now that Beyblades are more metal, I wonder how one would hold up against it.
Edit: I forgot about the ripcord also being offbrand. It was 1' and was, likely, also a big factor.
I like how people have Beyblade videos randomly pop up and they have no idea about competitive beyblade either. Same for me
Really nice and interesting video always cool to hear more of the completed side and don't worry about the quality of video it was really well made
This video was my entry point to ever paying attention to beyblade in my 35 years of life so far. A month later I'm 7 beys and 1 stadium in with no signs of stopping lol
today i learned people still cared about beyblades after the mid-2000s
I thought Beyblade was a mid 2010s thing! I had no idea it was around in the mid 2000s.
Rubber defense flat was banned at the tournament during the parts are actually overpowered
Damn didn’t realize beyblades are so cool/serious, I thought it was just a fun little toy. Great video!
i have a feeling 3:48 is gonna go hard
I haven't thought of Beyblades since elementary school way back in 2003, and NOW I find there is a whole tournament behind it? Damn
Dragoon was a type of Beyblade that could’ve made the community adapt or die and I think that would’ve been a nice change to the piece of actual Beyblade. Beyblade is something that is stuck in the enemy and isn’t really a real life thing. It’s always some thing to see when something breaks away from the enemy and evolves into reality and that’s what I kind of want for Beyblade
I don’t understand any of what you said.
I think instead of enemy.. he meant to say anime?? @@ShiningDarknes
@@joeconnerson9773 Can't tell if edgy or just ESL.
Autism
Anime spelled enemy is fucking insane but what he said makes alot of sense once you get pass that error ... Because ive always wanted the same thing for yuGiOh... With duel disk and real life virtuals monsters appearing i can live with out the taking real damage part though😂
My biggest tragedy in life is not being born early enough to enjoy heybl to it's max and only get a glimpse of the beyblade world
This is why i love the internet. For me, beyblades was what the rich kids did in pre-school, but for others its a whole pro scene.
Learn something new every day
I'm considering every choice in my life that brought me to this point...
0:55 I REMEMBER THIS!
I really enjoyed this video essay kind of video interspersed with video of the actual bey doing what it does.
Great work, man
Is anyone here
Nope
I am here!
Nah
here since the start
Yup
I remember the cartoon, and I've seen videos every now and then of people playing beyblade, but I did not know it was this deep. S tier parts, a whole set of being over 700 bucks brand new? Tf?!? Mind blown
love the new video style! keep up the amazing videos!!!!
Im so glad competitive beyblade exist and it's big now. I remember being a kid watching the show when it first came out and getting my first beyblade for Christmas. I had no one to batlte but I can hear the echos me saying let it rip in my room 😢😂. THE NOSTALGIA!!
I'm just amazed that this fandom has relevancy. I'm surprised you all _still exist._
I mean, I don't mean it in a _bad_ way, good for all of you. I don't know how you all like Beyblade in 2024, I don't know how it's still competitive, and I don't know how spinning tops have actual thought behind them (haven't fully watched the video yet) but that's a me problem, not yours.
Maybe seeing things spin is soothing to some people? Maybe there's gambling with tops in other countries? Maybe dreidel vs dreidel matches are fun? Or maybe I'm just too old to understand but old enough to remember when it was hype?
Whatever the reason(s), keep enjoying yourselves.
Ngl the current beyblade Gen, Beyblade X, is extremly hype with super explosive matches and insane speeds. The battles intesnity now feels, how we imagine playing beyblade felt back in school. Look into it, maybe you can find something in there to enjoy Beyblade again? Have a great day!
"Slightly different then my usual" also is the only video of yours to break into my feed, and seemed interesting.
Id appreciate looking more at mass and moment of inertia effects of the parts in question, rather than just "attack" and "defence"
What if you use:
fusion hades BD 145 and EWD
Since fusion hades spins the opposite direction and has rubber it would be able to defend against its attack and "spin steal" from it
The BD 145 is more used to add mass and height to match your height
And EWD to not get thrown off the stadium from your bayblade's attacks?
(and metal face bolt of course)
The most interesting thing about this video is that a competitive bay blade scene exists.
I swear a lot of these Beyblade names sound like a gun you'd find in Borderlands.
I think dragoon² msf(h)90 rf can defeat wayveng dragoon
Nope
@drklztestchannel2638 show me the proof
@@darkbladegeeks you dont even have a proof that it can beat wayveng yet you ask for proof it cant? Sure my proof is that your combo never even used back then as competitive combo. You think you are the only one ever think about that combo? Stop dreaming child

Time to go down a rabbit hole about a game/anime I haven't thought about in nearly two decades, never played/watched, and most certainly will not play/watch. Thank you.
6:22 Two to one
😂
so like when Timothée Chalamet posed with a beyblade in that one pic i was like "haha pretty funny throwback to that anime i watched as a kid"
but now i know
the beyblade comunity is alive and well
and it's more cool than i remember
It's spinning TOPS.
It's TOPS, DUDE.
Somehow they made a competitive scene... For fucking TOPS!
Isnt that cool? :)
I don’t know why I was recommended this video by RUclips, but I enjoyed it. Good job!
I didn’t even know competitive bayblade was a thing until this video
This might be one of the nerdiest videos I've ever seen and I love it. But clearly second to "watch for rolling rocks" in 0.5x A presses.
I don’t understand a single thing said in this video but I love it
I would love to see more videos like this! I grew up with the Burst generation, but learning about earlier gens like Metal Fight is very fascinating! Please do more like these!
I need to run away from this video and this channel very fast. I am so close to relapsing and spending hundreds of dollars on beyblade. Good video!!
This combo also changed the toyline forever. The tops explode now. This is likely as a response to combos like this. Beyblade X is basically "let's try metal fight again, but this time with caution and the burst mechanic."
Seeing videos like this come up makes me wish I still had my double-weighted Galeon from 20 years ago.
man I sure hope someone out there milling out a attack and defense wheel combo out of tungsten
I refuse to believe any of this is true and this guy didn't just make everything up.
Literally everything.
I play competitive Yugioh and I have a hard time grasping competitive Beyblade. How do you rate their stats? How does powercreep work so they can sell tops?? How are there not more tops that break the entire RPS format through pure physics???
That was a timetravel man. We used some knock off beyblades from a magazine that were bigger then normal beyblades, so the beyblade kid got annihilated
5:26 genbull genbull 90 eternal *defense* ? And is a stamina one? 😅
I had no idea there was competitive beyblade, but my bey made with a Gravity Destroyer's metal and clear wheels, the track from Flame Libra, and whatever tip I felt like running beat all the other kids at school lol.
from my testing with the wyvang dragoon combo, it has a rly hard time with specifically death bd145 cs. If it's not able to knock it out, 99 percent of the time it's not able to properly grip onto the blade or spin track and destabalizes/dies before death runs out of stamina. You'd have to switch to a more stable part like killerken before its able to properly grip onto the death fusion wheel.
I'm going through the comments section expecting a bunch of people to say how this is similar to Wizard Rod in Beyblade X, but surprised to see a majority of comments just now discovering that Beyblade has a competitive scene. Even as a kid growing up during plastic gen, I dreamed of competing in a real beyblade tournament. I guess the West didn't really market tournaments very well back then.
The worst thing about Wyvang Dragoon is that its only real counter was other Dragoon setups. MSF Genbull Dragoon 90WD can often outspin it (assuming it avoids an early KO), but then you run into an issue of overpowered Dragoon combos that can only be countered by each other
Personally, I would've banned Dragoon (or at least restrict it to not be the top wheel in a synchrome) instead of RDF. By removing left spin from synchrome entirely, it would allow for RDF to be used in less OP combos and give other left spin beys a reason to be used (since with Dragoon synchromes being a thing, there is no reason to ever use any of the L-Drago beys)
And here is me thinking getting a long ass cord and launching a beyblade at Mach 2, seeing them both smashing out of the ring and splintering a table leg was peak beyblade..
To this day I didn’t even know you guys build your own bladeblade
That make it so much interesting
There is no way Bayblade had a meta and a competitive scene. What? I only remember batteling my friends with whatever looked to coolest.
that is the most fun way :)
this is such a cool video! its super cool learning about the metal fight scene especially as someone who collects burst beys. I'd love to see more videos like this
as a complete noob watching this, i had a hard time understanding what was going on until the 5 minute mark where you explained the rock paper scissors system.
i was totally lost on what weight did for a beyblade or what "smashes" were
i think i would've been helped greatly if you'd mentioned a couple of the the win conditions of beyblade
something like
"to be the last one spinning, whether by knockout, or out lasting your opponents spin"
so that way the viewer can sort of intuit "ah weight is good to keep spinning and take hits" but its not too much info given so that you still have viewer retention explaining the scale of how good this combo was
You took me a trip down memory lane
I remember when Bayblade first came out. They were heaps of fun and there used to be some crazy after market weight discs. All with crazy shapes an cool things about them like one I remember had flint on the outside of it so when it would hit the other weight disc it would spark.
The only competitive bayblade I ever did was in school in the early 2000's. Doing wagers with other kids, winning them, and then selling the bayblades back to the same kids who lost, because they were terrified their parents would find out. Good times. LMAO
Today i learned that there is a marked place for beyblade parts. Nice to know even if i will never be able to replace my collection that was lost because of my little sister. Coming from a not so well of family, i mostly got fakes from an asian store around the corner. But to my surprise, those parts where compatible.
I was big into Beyblade during the plastic era, it's kinda cool seeing it evolved into an actual game consider how much of a joke the original was
Love this video format. Really interesting breakdowns. Hope to see more.
